Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 124 He Is Actually Very Lonely

"Mrs. Mu, good morning. Mr. Mu asked me to send you to work." Luke greeted Daisy as soon as he

saw her walk out. Mrs. Mu looked sharp in uniforms. Luke thought.

"Good morning. Sorry for troubling you." Daisy nodded and said to Luke. She didn't refuse to go with

him because he had been to the military base before. Besides, Luke was an experienced driver, that

could save her a lot of time.

"It's my duty, Mrs. Mu." Luke ran to open the car door for Daisy, exhibiting great respect for her.

"Thanks," Daisy said to him gently. She bent down and got into the car.

As there were no traffic jam in the morning, The car moved quite fast. Soon they were out of downtown

and near the suburb.

The morning in the suburb was filled up with the chirping of all kinds of birds and insects. Daisy pulled

down the window and enjoyed the gentle breeze blowing over her face. She had been thinking about

Edward's strange behavior yesterday. Since he didn't bring it up, she had to let it pass. Maybe it was

because she wasn't the women he loved deeply in his heart. Therefore he didn't want to talk about it

with her. Daisy thought.

"Luke, did anything happen to Mr. Mu yesterday? He acted rather strangely yesterday." asked Daisy in

a calm voice. Luke was focusing on driving the car. But Daisy couldn't help speaking out what was on

her mind. Her question made Luke hesitate for a bit.

"You mean yesterday? No, nothing special happened yesterday. He has kept a patient profile lately. So

I don't think anything would bother him." Luke replied. He tilted his head and thought for a while. He

remembered that Mr. Mu was in the office all day long yesterday. He didn't go out to meet any clients. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Only Jessica came by yesterday.

Thinking of Jessica, Luke turned his head to take a quick look at Daisy. It seemed that Daisy had been

looking outside and didn't notice his nervousness. Did Jessica cause Edward's strange behavior

yesterday? Luke thought.

"Oh! Nothing? Okay. I thought that you are with him every day, so you would know if anything

happened." Daisy said. She was still looking blankly at the scenery outside.

"Mrs. Mu, have you noticed anything about Mr. Mu?" Luke asked. Her look in the uniform made him

feel very nervous.

"Nothing, so that's why I'm asking you. Let's drop it. Luke, have you been with Mr. Mu for a long time?"

Daisy shifted her focus from outside and gazed at Luke.

"Yes, I have been with him since I was very young. Although he looks like a playboy, he is actually very

lonely." Luke explained on Edward's behalf while driving the car attentively.

"Oh!" Really? I didn't know this side of him. You seem to know him very well." In Daisy's eyes, Edward

lived a carefree life. And his charming smile had mesmerized lots of women. She felt that she was only

a passer-by to him. She saw just his fun side. But his loneliness was an unexplored part to her.

"Really? Not quite. Mr. Mu's heart is a land I have never ventured. Most of the time, I'm just watching

him in silence on the margin." Luke sneered with a hint of self-mockery. There was a trace of sadness

on his cool face.

Daisy didn't utter a word because she didn't know what to say. Right then they arrived at the military

base.

"Thank you, Luke." Daisy got out of the car and said to Luke. This thank didn't only include her

appreciation for him sending her here, but also for the sincere friendship he had with Edward.

"You're welcome. Mrs. Mu, when will you get off work? I will send a car to pick you up." Luke asked. He

wasn't used to the politeness Daisy extended towards him.

"Thanks. But I have a car here. I can drive home by myself. I'm going in. Drive safe on the way." Daisy

said to Luke with a smile.

"Okay, I am going back now. Mr. Mu will be going off to work. See you tonight, Mrs. Mu." Luke said and

nodded at Daisy. Then he drove away.

Daisy turned around and walked into the military base. The soldier who was on duty at the gate saluted

her when he saw her come. Daisy nodded at him and walked towards the office building.

On the way to the office building, all the soldiers stopped and saluted her. She saluted back but didn't

say anything. Her aloof demeanor was a unique phenomenon here. Everyone knew about it, and they

had gotten used to it.

"Colonel Daisy, colonel Daisy." A man quickly ran towards her. His voice sounded very excited.

"Oh, it's you! Mark! You must have been slacking off when I was away these few days. You are panting

for walking such a short distance." Daisy looked at Mark's red face and frowned.

"Colonel, you're finally back!" Mark smiled and ignored Daisy's accusation. He felt like a kid who had

lost his direction when Daisy was away during the past few days.

"Okay, please take all the files that need to be checked to my desk and see if there are any important

arrangements in today's agenda." Daisy said to Mark. She knew that Mark was very hardworking. She

was only joking with him just now.

"Okay, colonel. I will do it right away." While saying this, he saluted her and walked away quickly.

Daisy shook her head and sighed. Mark was still very imprudent. She wondered when he would

become mature and calm at work.

Mark was very efficient. As soon as Daisy sat down, Mark walked in with a stack of files in his hands.

"Colonel, These are all the files you need to sign, and there is a meeting at 9 a.m. concerning military

weapons. This is the file for the meeting, you must take a look at it first." Mark handed the pile of files to

her.

"Okay. I see." Daisy said and reached out to pick the files. She opened the file and began to browse it.

When she saw the pictures of the new type of weapons displayed in the file, she felt excited. She had

always been interested in military equipment. So her eyes were filled with excitement now.

"Colonel, will many big BOSSes show up this time?" Marked asked. They liked to name the powerful

weapons as BOSS, It sounded more exciting and challenging to them

"Yes! They are good. But some of them are not suitable for marine force; they are more applicable to

naval operations." Daisy had been paying attention to the new weapons of every country in the recent

past. Hence she could quickly analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the weapons in different

operations.
